I have converted two of my tractors over to the Pertronics ignition. First one, ordered the package deal ( module, hi-output coil, resistor, and spark plugs ) also installed new RF suppression wires. No issues what so ever with that one. Second tractor, I ordered from a different vendor and installed only the module along with the suppression plug wires. The Pertronics web site gave me the part number for the module for distributor I had which I used to order it with.
After installation, second tractor ran rough for 30 seconds and died. Still had spark but could not restart. I called the vendor from which I had gotten the first kit, and after checking the distributor number, was told I had ordered the wrong module. I know this company gets some negative comments ( starts with a D )but after replacing it with a different part number module, tractor started and ran great.
You really need to know what you have as far as, distributor #, coil ( internal or externally resisted ) plug wire type before ordering. Also rotation of distributor matters. If your distributor has a dust cover between the points and the cap, you will need to enlarge the hole in it for most applications. Most older tractors have a lot of wear on the weights and springs for the mechanical advance. You won't see this till you remove the plate that the points mount to. Also if the distributor shaft bushings are worn, it does not really affect the module operation as there is no point gap to be concerned with.
The only downside to the conversion is when it goes bad, there's nothing you can do to get it going again. Having to wait days for parts isn't fun, and just module kits are close to a hundred plus shipping. You can file and gap points and be going again in minutes.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
